Hello, type one diabetic with a heart condition here who still wears a mask when running a regular 5k…WEAR A MASK MY DUDES
When you wake up, test, realize you’re high AF, treat, and nap until you’re normal again.
If only I could do it on work days…

Finished this year’s diabetes walk with my family! My sister and I are showing off our pump shirts today with my “inspiration” in hand. Together we raised over $15,000 this year for JDRF between the walk and my dad’s bike ride!

Shouldn’t have been surprised by this advantage of working at a toy company: when your pump runs out of juice, everyone at work has triple A batteries on hand!
Seriously, I had multiple Finding Dory band-aids across my butt today so I didn’t stain my dress :(
Sorry I’ve been so long in writing-being an adult is time consuming! But, long post coming up, so maybe y'all can forgive me.
My dad is fantastic. For the past few months worked to raise thousands of dollars for the JDRF Burlington ride by…selling his body. To clarify, he came up with this awesome fundraising idea: if you donated over a certain amount, my dad would wear a (temporary) tattoo of whatever you wanted during the ride. He looked like a sponsored NASCAR driver! Though it may just sound silly and fun, it worked-he raised over $10,000 for research.
Lesson to learn: my dad is the coolest, he loves me a lot, and people love silly tattoos on grown men.
My mom and I went up to volunteer at the ride as well. It was an awesome experience, and if you ever get to go, you should. There’s something really comforting about going somewhere were all the food is carb counted; it means someone understands. It’s great to connect with families from all walks of the diabetic life and hear about new technologies. Yet, the most amazing thing is seeing how much everyone really cares for you. How much they are willing to take on, volunteer, and donate so you can be healthy.
Plus, the all-T1D bike team is very, very cute.

Hey Diabuds I started a new business where I sell my diabetes themed art. Find stickers like these, mugs, shirts, framed prints, and more!
Thank you for your support.
My new myabetic backpack. Love it.
A question for Artists!
What if someone wants to credit themselves on my work? ?
When someone asks you to do a piece for them, you still include your signature on the work, yes?
If they tell you that they want to write their own name or social media handle on the artwork, do you say okay or no?
I was asked to do a commission. The image will depict a diverse group of diabetic people. I agreed and wrote up a contract. The patron wants to alter it so that she can
1. Write her own signature on the work and
2. Resell the image on tshirts.
I initially agreed to the 2nd, but I am against alterations. What should I do?
Happy world diabetes day!
